Lacie rugged thunderbolt usb 3 0 1tb review.

The lacie rugged usb 3 0 thunderbolt 2tb is a relatively speedy portable hard drive that takes full advantage of both the thunderbolt and usb 3 0 interface. Transfer rates vary slightly from one drive to another. For optimal performance the drive must be connected to a usb 3 0 host port. Again this comes down to the fact that the maximum speed of a mechanical hard drive doesn t even come close to saturating a usb 3 connection so paying for usb 3 1 hardware would have no benefit at all but.

The new lacie rugged usb 3 0 thunderbolt is a nice surprise considering that the other ssd based thunderbolt drive the company released more almost a year ago the 120gb little big disk. Design and specs the lacie rugged ssd pro is available in 1tb 400 and 2tb 700 capacities the same. In our testing results were slightly higher than what lacie quoted for this product delivering read speeds of 112 2mb s while write activity hit 113 8mb s in a thunderbolt mac environment.

For example this lacie rugged thunderbolt usb c drive we are looking at today is usb c enabled but the usb c port is simply using the usb 3 standard and not the newer usb3 1 standard. That it s very fast and can be used via thunderbolt 3 or usb doesn t hurt either.
